Btw, I was curious about how Trump's attempt to revitalize everyone's favorite and most patriotic form of energy (coal) was doing so far. From what I've read, Trump helped (if he did at all) increase the industry's job by whopping....two thousand since he took office. And this is the highest number I was able to find. Also, it must have been a while since I've looked into this subject, cause I legitimately don't remember the entire industry's number being so pathetic. There's like only around 50k total, compared to over 250k for solar, and even wind is blowing (GET IT?) past it with almost 90k. How the hell is that stupid industry so important again?

Because solar and wind are for sissies, and coal is dug out of the ground by MANLY men and burnt in MANLY factories. No seriously, Republicans have gendered environmentalism and that's how we're in this situation. Toxic masculinity is literally the bedrock of all conservative thought.

mango sentinel posted:https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/cysticercosis/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/trichinellosis/gen_info/faqs.html How does infection occur in humans and animals? When a human or animal eats meat that contains infective Trichinella cysts, the acid in the stomach dissolves the hard covering of the cyst and releases the worms. The worms pass into the small intestine and, in 1-2 days, become mature. After mating, adult females lay eggs. Eggs develop into immature worms, travel through the arteries, and are transported to muscles. Within the muscles, the worms curl into a ball and encyst (become enclosed in a capsule). The life cycle repeats when meat containing these encysted worms is consumed by another human or animal.

mango sentinel posted:https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/cysticercosis/index.html You’re issue here is that cystcerocosis isn’t trichinosis - it’s an infection of larval tapeworms that can travel outside the digestive system into other tissue. That’s caused by consuming tapeworm cysts, which can come from an infected human’s feces or from contaminated pork. Pigs can also be infected by eating infected human’s feces or cysts. Trichinosis is a roundworm infection that’s endemic in pigs and only known to be transmitted from pigs to people, not person to person.

From what I've read, Trump helped (if he did at all) increase the industry's job by whopping....two thousand since he took office. And this is the highest number I was able to find. Because coal is one of the few remaining jobs that's tied to specific locations and can't just be done anywhere. Which is important because as free trade deals and the rise of the internet have gradually made more and more jobs non-location-dependent, basically every loving job has moved either overseas or to major urban areas. The only jobs rural areas have left are the jobs that literally can't be done anywhere besides those rural areas, and resource extraction is one of the more prominent ones, especially since it's a long-term industry that's usually been there since the current miners' parents were young and has therefore taken on a generational flavor that makes it popular among the olds. It may be pathetic, but it's a sign of how desperate these areas are that they're making a big deal about that small a number of jobs.

theflyingorc posted:People keep saying this like it is obvious, but use of batteries at the kind of scale we're talking about isn't usually done, and has only been seriously attempted very recently that i can tell. It isn't as simple as "just use batteries", storing that kind of power for long periods of time is actually not a simple problem. Well, you don't have to use actual batteries. Example: use the power to pump water uphill, then later release it into a hydropower facility. edit: i was so beaten, sorry
